At Canning Town Flowers, we strongly oppose all forms of modern slavery, servitude, human trafficking, and forced labour. As a trusted florist dedicated to serving households and businesses throughout Canning Town, it is our responsibility to uphold the highest ethical standards in every aspect of our operations. This Modern Slavery Statement outlines the steps we take to prevent modern slavery within our business and supply chains.
Canning Town Flowers maintains a strict zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery. We do not accept any form of forced, bonded, or involuntary labour, nor do we condone any exploitation or abuse of workers. This commitment is fundamental to our values and the environment we foster for our team, our suppliers, and our customers.
We recognise that most modern slavery risks can occur within complex supply chains. As such, we take diligent steps to ensure that all our suppliers and business partners share our stance on ethical working conditions. Before entering into agreements, prospective suppliers are required to confirm their own compliance with anti-slavery laws and to provide evidence of their labour standards. Our supply agreements include clear clauses regarding the prohibition of modern slavery. We regularly review and assess our relationships to identify any areas of risk, allowing us to take prompt action where necessary.
Awareness is a critical element of our approach. We invest in regular training for our employees, helping them to understand what constitutes modern slavery and how it can manifest within the flower industry and the broader supply chain. Training sessions include guidance on identifying warning signs and the appropriate actions to take in case of suspicion. This ensures that our team is well equipped to detect and prevent unethical practices, both internally and externally.
Canning Town Flowers is committed to maintaining an open and transparent environment where concerns about slavery and human trafficking can be raised without fear of reprisal. We encourage employees, suppliers, and the wider community to speak up about any suspected instances of modern slavery in our operations or those of our partners. Concerns are reviewed with the utmost seriousness and confidentiality, and we take appropriate steps in response to every report made.
Modern slavery risks can evolve over time. To ensure that our practices remain effective, this statement and our relevant policies are reviewed annually. We assess our supply chain, training effectiveness, and reporting processes on a yearly basis, making adjustments as required to strengthen our overall approach. Should any incident or risk be identified, prompt action is taken, and lessons learned are incorporated into future policies and training.
Canning Town Flowers is proud to be a trusted business serving the local community. We know our customers and partners expect us to do what is right. This Modern Slavery Statement reflects our unwavering commitment to maintaining the highest standards of integrity, transparency, and respect for human rights across all our activities. We stand by our values and will continue to combat the risks of modern slavery in collaboration with our staff, suppliers, and community.
